Beside A River
03:21
|
|||
|
The daily weight grows from a whisper
Louder and louder in my mind
We fell asleep beside a river
And in the morning it was quiet
The days get darker as the pressure
Gathers a cloud between our eyes
We fell asleep under a redwood
And in the morning it was bright

Tunnel View
03:38
|
|||
|
The valley is bursting out
Taking the breath from our mouths
With our radio up so loud
The water makes all this sound
Even when no one’s around
With no idea of the thrill it gives
We spent all of our strength just to get a glimpse
We’re so pleased just to sleep on the ground
The trees have never made a promise
The trees have never let me down
I’ve been lost, but never out here
My wandering thoughts seem so common and clear
When I cower at the granite’s feet
I don’t find myself worrying
If my prayers are soliloquies
just echoing off of the towering peaks
Rest, rest from the heat
The lake has dried up
But the meadow glows sweetly
Stare at the faces in pink
We’re learning their heights
By what’s left of the evening
Til they pool in the blue of the moon

We broke in a moment through the fog
The color up in the hills caught me off guard
Driving so high above sea
There's no reflection to hide what’s underneath
Just a window to the deep
And I could see
The kelp waving wild and free
Drowning the things I let get to me
I give myself hostage to the dark
The worried look in your eyes caught me off guard
I’m learning there’s trace amounts of blue
In every color but less when I’m with you
You don't let it puncture through
And you lay me down
In the perennial offerings
Down in the reed grass and poppies
In the perennials' calming bloom

Feet In The Water
03:31
|
|||
|
Come put your feet in the water
It’s warmer than everyone said
Full of the stories upriver
Lets brave it to be one more of them
Holding tight, with the sun in our eyes
Filled and bright, taken by all the leaves in this light
When the summer shows it’s skin
We’re always young and free again
We took our bikes to the summit
And ventured where we’ve never been
Rode through the gumweed and aspen
In bloom all along the riverbed
And we held tight for the full moon to rise
But climbed up blind toward the sound of the water that night
When the summer showed it’s skin
We got out before the town woke
To the foggy pastel plateau
And all the elk grazing out by the road
Looked like ghosts, noble ghosts
We drove to a cliff full of homes
And searched them slow
For signs that somebody else has felt this before
And in the warmest summer wind
We grew flush as one again
Let’s hold this color in
To our golden summer skin

The Snowline
03:29
|
|||
|
The bay was full
The boardwalk silent
And the islands blue in a monochrome
And I was cold
Dull as a stone and so engrossed
In whatever it was
The clouds were low
Sprawling and formless
And I blamed them all for my wallowing
But when they rose
Lucid like smoke from mountain folds
I loved them again
Oh this pendulum heart
Oh, my pendulum psalms
I’ve found what’s good
And I’m slowly learning
How to chase it blind to my appetite
Cause I’ll curse it’s pull
As soon as we reach the high cascade
And swoon when we see the snowline fade
As soon as I wake up
Slow my pendulum heart
Slow my pendulum want
I don’t know how I still let it stop me
I’ve learned so many times that it leaves me lost

Santiam
02:25
|
|||
|
Dusk trims the sound from the fading day
To the whispering banks
And what the summer frogs say
We know this river in different ways
But we love it the same, we love it the same
We need it the same, I think I need it more every day
I grew up so rich, home in the trees
Our generous kin set a course for my feet but the water’s more swift than it seemed
From the reeds
We all looked down when the shadows came
And the silhouettes swayed
on the Santiam’s face
We’ve held our pain in our separate ways
And I love you the same, I love you the same
I love you the same, I think I love you more today
The ferns on the pond, the moss on the oaks
The old sacred songs are deep in my soul but my ardor for all of it’s grown
On its own line
It's hard not stir and worry who's right
I just want to learn how to push it aside and jump in from our opposite sides
Unconfined

Mount Desert Island
03:27
|
|||
|
Light comes slow
To the Eastern Somes
Fades in a gentle glow
To our borrowed home
On an endless day
Sewn in seamless gray
At times it's a lovely change
To have to stay in and wait out the rain
We braved the cold
As a day was born
We rode from coast to coast
on a carriage road
And we climbed unknown
Where the lichens grow
Vermillion on stacks of stones
That we followed to find the rambling dome
And we paused, huddled on the silent mountain
Wondering what this view will become
Buried underneath whatever’s coming
With our love
Pronounced in the silence
Of Mount Desert Island cold and new
And rousing our youth
Soak it slow, we’ve years to go

The Deep
04:00
|
|||
|
In a sea
Foreign and exciting
Warm and free
Brilliant and inviting
In a sea
Mysterious and frightening
Vast and bleak
With nameless secrets hiding
In the deep
In a sea
Colorful and vibrant
Blue and bright
With the strangest creatures shining
In a sea so powerful and violent
Carving stone
With every ripple rising
From the deep
In a sea without a conscience
In a sea immense and constant
That doesn’t know what we’ve accomplished
Or that we’d even come upon it
And in a sea so steeped with the whale song
We dove down as deep as our lungs would
So pleased to be just another
Mass for the shimmering light to discover
|

O, Sequoia
03:47
|
|||
|
Silence formed the widest sea
In between our tired seats
Heads still dense and without dream
From the longest night we’ve ever seen
And following the rivers turns
We tried to leave it in the dirt
Climbing through the desert heat
Our voices stuttered in defeat
But as soon as we had closed our doors
And stepped out on the forest floor
The darkness softly curled up
In the shadows of the massive trunks
Remember how we felt so free
Admiring them from underneath
So hushed and in a restful peace
I carried you between the trees
As close as could be
Hide with me under the bark
In the hollow’s cover safe and dark
It’s nothing we're just a little tired
The great Sequoia needs the fire and we
Won't break that easily
We’ve as strong as our rings
Tangle your roots with me
In terra deep
